Yesterday it was reported that New York Knicks player JR Smith was out late the night before Game 1 of the second round of the playoffs. Â The 40/40 Club reported that the reigning Sixth Man of the Year was partying there for the Mayweather Jr. fight.
The next day was the Knicks game against the Indiana Pacers. Â The Knicks came out flat and lost the first game of the series against a very physical Pacers team. Â Smith became a target of fans’ rage for his 4 for 15 performance on the court. Â Clearly tired of hearing that his partying ways were to blame for his poor shooting day, he took to his Twitter and sent this message out:
It looks like someone is lying… Do you believe the 40/40 Club or JR Smith who has been known to enjoy the nightlife? Â Either way all the blame cannot be put on Smith’s shoulders as the Pacers came out faster and stronger than the Knicks entire lineup yesterday.
